The Met Store Earrings*Favrile Tulip Enamel Hoop Earrings

Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her.

The luminous petals adorning these enamel hoops are adapted from the vivid tulip motif on a Favrile glass lampshade (1907–12) by Tiffany Studios (American, 1902–32). The tulip was a popular subject for the designer, who derived profound inspiration from the natural world. This particular model in The Met collection exhibits some of the richest colorations of glass, which vary from pink to red and purple.
